“May was an awesome sitter! Our two dogs took to her instantly. She provided lots of updates and pics and videos and did everything we asked. If we are ever in the area again we will def use her services.”
“It’s always a bit uncomfortable to have a stranger in your home but Jenna was warm and did a terrific job with our fur babies. She was communicative, sent updates and photos and made us feel at ease. We returned after Christmas to a clean home with very happy and well cared for pets. We will definitely use her again if she’s up for it.”
“Dayna was absolutely fantastic and took the BEST care of our puppy Billie! Our dog sitter canceled on us last minute and Dayna was able to watch Billie for one week on such last minute notice. She updated us daily with pictures and was extremely communicative. It was so nice being able to enjoy our trip knowing Billie was having the best time with her ☺️”
“Alexa was communicative, sent a couple of updates during the visit, and even stayed a few minutes late when I was running behind. I really appreciated her flexibility and care of my pup.”
“Darla watched my dog while I was out of state and provided her with so much love and care. She sent updates and pictures, took her on walks and played with her. Darla also would pet and cuddle her. Darla was great! Would definitely use her again! :)”
“Abigail was fantastic! Scoobie fell in love with her! She was attentive to his needs and gave him tons of loving and affection. She stayed in our home and was very respectful in keeping everything picked up and clean, while still making herself comfortable with Scoobie. We were very comfortable and relaxed knowing that Scoobie was in good hands as she was great about communicating with us and sending pictures. We definitely are using her again!!!”
“Jonathan did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of our two dogs and two cats while we were overseas for a couple of weeks! We received almost daily updates with photos, videos and status reports. The dogs got daily walks and all their needs were taken care of. Jonathan was super responsible and respectful; everything was spotless upon our return, and all pets were happy and healthy. Bonus: Jonathan's own pup is super sweet and was a great companion to our furry ones! If you are looking for a responsible, capable and trustworthy pet sitter, we highly recommend Jonathan and will certainly ask him back for future trips.”
About: EXCLUSIVE FULL SERVICE LUXURY IN-HOME PET & HOUSE SITTING Planning a trip and feeling nervous about leaving your beloved pets and home behind? I provide attentive, full-service care in your home, allowing your pets to remain safe, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I am a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. I have a natural connection with animals and understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. Personalized, Exclusive Care: I only accept one household at a time, so your pets will receive personalized, exclusive care rather than competing for attention with animals from multiple families. I will follow their normal feeding, walking, sleeping, medication, and household routines as closely as possible. Plus, you will receive regular photos and updates so you can enjoy your trip knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. My comprehensive house-sitting service can also include dog walking, plant care, collecting mail and packages, managing trash days, and keeping your home tidy, occupied, and secure. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind so you can enjoy your trip without worrying about what is happening back home. Prior to now, I have mainly offered boarding in my home, but now that my kids are grown, I have the freedom to travel and offer my pet and house-sitting services with wider flexibility. I offer in-home pet care and house-sitting throughout Southern California, from Malibu to Oceanside, and am open to other locations nationwide and internationally. My minimum stay is one week, and longer-term stays are welcomed. Rates for extended stays may be arranged based on the length of the booking and level of care required. You can expect frequent photos and updates so you always know how your pets are doing. I am comfortable administering medications and accommodating special instructions, senior pets, individual routines, and other household needs.

Because I provide care in your home, your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings while I also keep an eye on the house, collect mail and packages, water plants, and handle other agreed-upon household needs. I will communicate regularly and provide photos and updates so you can feel confident that both your pets and your home are being well cared for while you are away. I care for pets in the comfort and familiarity of their own home, where they can maintain their normal routines and feel safe while their family is away. I carefully follow all instructions for your pet's care and your home. Safety is always a priority. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and outdoor areas are secure, and I never allow pets outside unattended unless specifically instructed. I am attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or health and will communicate promptly if I notice anything unusual. Emergency instructions and veterinary information will be kept readily available throughout the day. I also treat each client’s home with the same care and respect I would give my own.

“Deena is an amazing pet sitter! She was super empathetic to my dog's needs and preferences, took such good care of her, and even left an adorable framed photo of my pup that she took. My girl had the biggest smile in all the photos she sent and I felt so relaxed knowing she was in such loving and attentive care. I would definitely recommend Deena to friends and would book again!”

“Very sweet and conscientious care for my sometimes ornery shepherd. She managed my pup perfectly on the two walks she took and I found her sincere and charming. I would definitely recommend Danielle and plan to ask her to care for my pup again.”
“Nicholas was great! He communicated well and asked a lot of questions to make sure he knew how to take good care of Squid. He showed up on time and sent great pictures. We would definitely hire him again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Huntington Beach
We had an amazing experience! She communicated with us throughout the entire stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took wonderful care of our dog, making sure he got all of his medications three times a day, and it was clear he was well loved and cared for. She also took exceptional care of our home. Everything was spotless, organized, and exactly as we left it. She even went above and beyond by washing and drying the towels and sheets before we got home, which was such a thoughtful surprise. I would absolutely book her again for dog and house sitting in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and caring!
Mayumi and Zackary were as delightful as they were attentive to caring for our thirteen year old blind & deaf dog, Honey - I immediately felt the professionalism and attention to detail during the meet and greet. Communication was seamless and extra sweet photos of Honey much appreciated!! Will definitely book again! Cheers!
Catherine was our sitter for 12 days and this is the first time we have used her! She texted us pictures and gave us report on our boy every day!! He seemed to really like her and visa versa! House was left in order and she followed all the schedules and suggestions we left for her. We will be having her back!
Alexa was amazing! First time using this service and impressed is an understatement! Alexa was very professional, communicative and showed our dogs lots of love and attention. She checked in several times throughout the day by sending pictures, videos, and updates. Would highly recommend Alexa and will definitely be rebooking with her.
Emma did really well with our pups. This was our first booking with her and things went very smoothly. Communication was great, and the puppy pictures were much appreciated. She was also very accommodating with schedule on short notice. We will happily rebook her for any future dog-sitting needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Huntington Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Huntington Beach on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 7,877 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Huntington Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Huntington Beach walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Huntington Beach maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Huntington Beach choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Huntington Beach. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
